What kinds of results do we help doctors achieve?
Attract More Patients A radiologist and thought leader in breast imaging decided to live her dream: open her own breast imaging center. She made a sizable investment, and needed to build patient volumes quickly.
We launched a marketing campaign “Friends don’t let friends skip mammograms.” This was inspired by the successful campaign “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.” Patients were encouraged to bring a friend to the screening mammograms when they scheduled their own. Generate More Revenue A hyperbaric and wound care center wanted to become more profitable. We looked for possible value-added services. Many of their patients were diabetics, and could not go to a nail salon. their podiatrists offered nail clipping. We designed a spa-like pedicure experience complete with massage chairs and called it a “Medi-cure.” Collaborate with Power Partners An orthodontist wanted to grow his practice. He enjoyed working with adults. We identified “power partners” who could potentially be the source of referrals: wedding planners (every bride wants a beautiful smile), executive coaches (straight teeth correlate with business success) and executive recruiters. He then let the wedding planners and bridal boutiques know about his promotional “bridal smile.” He educated executive coaches and recruiters about the power of a great smile and educated them about wireless braces. Circumvent a Non-Compete Clause A physician who joined a group uncovered partners’ ethical breeches. He wanted to leave the practice. However, the non-compete agreement in his employment contract restricted his new office location. He opened an office in the “safe zone.” In addition, he offered a virtual second opinion service. Create Awareness about Medical Innovation An orthopedic surgeon invested a year in Europe gaining mastery with a surgical procedure that treats a syndrome that is not yet recognized in the US. How would he raise awareness of both the syndrome and the effective treatment? We mapped out an educational campaign that includes how-to videos with answers to patients' frequently -asked questions, talks to pediatricians and family doctors and outreach to athletic coaches. Carve Out a Cash-Only Revenue Stream A pediatrician with ADHD is working with us to open a cash-only consulting/coaching/medication management service for kids with ADHD and their families. We have helped other physicians integrate cosmetic services and product sales into their existing practices. Launch Entrepreneurial Efforts A therapist developed a proven therapeutic intervention for treating PTSD. She currently conducts workshops internationally. Other entrepreneurial physicians include a pulmonologist who developed a smoking cessation system, a gynecologist who helps woman with non-pharmacologic management of menopause and a pediatrician who promotes a healthy eating program for kids.
